====Chapel==== {{Main|University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel}} [[File:University of Glasgow Chapel.jpg|left|thumb|Interior of the Chapel]] The University Chapel was constructed as a memorial to the 755 sons of the university who had died in the First World War. Designed by [[John James Burnet|Sir John Burnet]], it was completed in 1929 and dedicated on 4 October. Tablets on the wall behind the Communion Table list the names of those who died, while other tablets besides the stalls record the 405 members of the university community who gave their lives in the Second World War. Most of the windows are the work of [[Douglas Strachan]], although some have been added over the years, including those on the South Wall, created by Alan Younger. Daily services are held in the chapel during term-time, as well as seasonal events. Before Christmas, there is a Service of [[Nine Lessons and Carols]] on the last Sunday of term, and a [[Watchnight service]] on Christmas Eve. Graduates, students, members of staff, and the children of members of staff are entitled to be married in the chapel, which is also used for [[baptism]]s and funerals. [[Civil marriage]]s and [[Civil partnership in the United Kingdom|civil partnerships]] may be blessed in the chapel, although under UK law may not be performed there.{{Verify source|date=December 2018}} The current [[chaplain]] of the university is the Reverend Stuart MacQuarrie, and the university appoints honorary chaplains of other denominations.
